Hi everyone!
I'm a recent owner of a Xperia Arc S (Orange Spain) with v2.3.4 (4.0.1.A.0.266)
I rooted the terminal with Doomlord-zergRush, it works fine.
What's the next step for have a generic global 2.3.4?

I answer myself...
The secuence is:
- download flashtool. I used v0.3 in win7
- download the firm you want. My choose was Generic Middle East North Africa (Latin) - LT18i 4.0.2.A.0.42 CUSTOMIZED-MEL [1254-2282] from HERE
- Unrar the flashtool and put the firm in the folder called "firmwares"
- Connect the phone pressing "BACK" button
- Lauch the flashtool (Administrator), press Flash and follow the instructions.
Thats all!
Xperia Arc S (Orange Spain) -> unbranded 2.3.4 (4.0.2.A.0.42)

You dont need to flash a custom firmware to get root, the latest version of flashtool has one-click root using zergrush.

to unlock bootloader even if you lose warranty ...yes this is possible for your phone
in fact for certain releases of these phone models :
Sony Ericsson Xperia™ PLAY
Sony Ericsson Xperia™ arc
Sony Ericsson Xperia™ arc S
Sony Ericsson Xperia™ neo
Sony Ericsson Xperia™ neo V
Sony Ericsson Xperia™ pro
Sony Ericsson Xperia™ mini
Sony Ericsson Xperia ™ mini pro
Sony Ericsson Xperia™ ray
Sony Ericsson Xperia™ active
Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman™
Sony Xperia™ S
Sony Xperia™ P
Sony Xperia™ U
Sony Xperia™ sola
to unlock bootloader proceed with the first step at Sony site
you have to flash a stock-based ROM if you do not want to unlock bootloader
this case is the same- you lose warranty
look here for stock-based ROMs
never flash a ROM not made for your phone
that means, that i CANT install cyanogenmod with a locked bootloader?

yes you get the point !
I understand your frustration
but there are plans to release an official ICS for this phone check Sony site or by PC Companion
in this case you will never lose warranty and ICS is very good for your... in fact amazing Arc S phone :good:
PS
yes you can flash an unrooted stock-ROM before you send it to service ..
how about if you have a hardware failure ?
Ok... thank you :good:
But arconium (stock-based rom) also recomendeds Unlocked bootloader.
The point why i dont have to root my phone is that i can flash back to an unrooted firmware and then i think the support wont know that i rooted my phone ( i hope so )

I like that you really want Cyanogen on your phone
me to I made a custom rom for my phone here
this rom has Cyanogen Launcher just because I like this OS
nope no chance to have Cyangoen without an unlocked bootloader
there are little chances to find one to work without S-off
It's something about base address of the kernel/protected bootloader/encryption something like this.. You have to assume the risks if you want it !
ok ! thank u very much, u helped me alot :good::good::good:

Hy
J want to unlock my bootloader and j use the sonys method(http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions) in step 2.(In your phone, tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can continue with the next step. If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked.) My phone say NO (ARC S .431,locked BL,rooted,J bouht to Telenor (so it's dependent) Is there any way to unlock my bootloader ????
I'm not even sure if I want to reply. Did you try using the SEARCH feature? It's there for a reason. Hell, it even asks you to read a few threads before you start a new thread if it thinks the topic is similar!
There's no free way of unlocking your bootloader. There are a couple of members here who do it for a reasonable fee. The names? Use the SEARCH.

it is a bad idea to flash an LT15i iberia ROM to a LT15a (the letter "a" means "American"), while the "i" stands for Internacional (i think).
They have another radio frequency that renders them completely incompatible with european ROMs
You'll have to flash back a LT15a ROM, and pray for it to re-survive LOL
